Not crowdedGreat views

Lovely walk edited to suit my stay at Cloud Farm campsite. Beautiful old oaks and then up into the moors with some Exmoor ponies present and views all the way to Wales. Stopped at the Buttery for the best Devonshire Cream tea and friendliest service ever. All the food looked amazing and I’d go back again in a heartbeat. Felt like a gentle but perfect Exmoor experience. Cloud Farm is a fab campsite too!

Excellent woodland walk with views. Starting a shortened version at the national trust car park with great coffee & cake at Horner tea garden. Taking the Cat Scramble path to ascend the hill & descending for the return leg alongside the fast moving stream. Paths were solid if a little rocky. An ideal walk with dogs off lead apart from the one short encounter with a couple of Exmoor ponies beside the stream.

A lovely walk around Watersmeet and Lynton. I really recommend the walk to anyone who wants to explore the rivers in Exmoor.
